Sudeip & George - Beat It (Michael Jackson)

Sudeip & George - Beat It (... Lyrics & Chords

S & G Present you Michael Jackson – Beat It

This was something that was totally unplanned and Me and George were exchanging a few emails and the word “Beat it” popped up at somepoint !! All i remember is talking to George completing the vocals at 4 am and he had actually lost his voice :)

All Music arranged and performed by Sudeip
Vocals , harmonies by George
Mixed by Sudeip and George

This was the first song i ever heard in my life ! back in 83/84 i remember recording this song on a small panasonic recorder !
guess we all have come a long way since then.

Ohh yes by the way…:) This is the Metal Version of the song !!
George has once again done a brilliant job at the Vocals !
The Song is at an unusally high scale and George actually sang at the original scale without faltering !!!!!
Enjoy Listening

Here are the lyrics:
[1st Verse]
They Told Him Don’t You Ever Come Around Here
Don’t Wanna See Your Face, You Better Disappear
The Fire’s In Their Eyes And Their Words Are Really Clear
So Beat It, Just Beat It

[2nd Verse]
You Better Run, You Better Do What You Can
Don’t Wanna See No Blood, Don’t Be A Macho Man
You Wanna Be Tough, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad

[Chorus]
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin’ How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn’t Matter Who’s Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It
Just Beat It, Beat It

[3rd Verse]
They’re Out To Get You, Better Leave While You Can
Don’t Wanna Be A Boy, You Wanna Be A Man
You Wanna Stay Alive, Better Do What You Can
So Beat It, Just Beat It

[4th Verse]
You Have To Show Them That You’re Really Not Scared
You’re Playin’ With Your Life, This Ain’t No Truth Or Dare
They’ll Kick You, Then They Beat You,
Then They’ll Tell You It’s Fair
So Beat It, But You Wanna Be Bad

[Chorus]
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin’ How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn’t Matter Who’s Wrong Or Right

[Chorus]
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin’ How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn’t Matter Who’s Wrong Or Right
Just Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It

[Chorus]
Beat It, Beat It, Beat It, Beat It
No One Wants To Be Defeated
Showin’ How Funky Strong Is Your Fight
It Doesn’t Matter Who’s Wrong Or Right

Wow! Thats sheer power! That was sung beautifully, though could feel the strain in George’s voice. He sure did hold on through the song.
I could picture Roshan banging her head against the wall at 4:00AM with each ‘beat it’!
Good work Sudeip & George!

Dudes and Dudettes – Thank you very much for all the awesome feedback. Much appreciated. Sudeip and I had an absolute blast working on this.

So heres the story behind the track: I was working on an original composition with Shashank and wanted Sudeip to do the guitarwork for it. So I suggested he try something like the guitar work in Beat It and Sudeip agreed. Anyways around 9:00 pm I got a call from Sudeip and he said “I have a surprise for you. You know I’m crazy right? So guess what I did?” I had no clue! Anyways, he had worked on Beat It instead of the original composition!!!! Needless to say I loved it and the rest is History!!

Mindblowing delivery of this all time classic. Even me (who is not into this genre much) was hooked on this song at one point :-). Enjoyed listening to this.
Great work Sudeip – amazing arrangement and detail.

excellent george…. i dont know how you coped with lyrics metering with Jamos song ……its too tough with his songs…. The curse of too popular song is people know it so well so they will try to compare with originals and rate the covers low. But for my ears I am impressed how you both have handled the song

Sorry guys it took me a while to get here.

Sudeip and George, way to go dudes…. i think you guys had loads of fun doing this number, which shows in the outcome.

Sudeip arrangement was awesome man, loved it totally. Georgy way to go bro, loved your high energetic vocals man…. goes straight into my favs…. remember doing this version on stage recently in a show in Toronto, i know how hard it is to hit those high notes, that’s why chose to sing the easy part in the song i.e. " Beat It Beat It " :-}…… the actual song was sung by our base guitarist.

Awesome is the word guys…. loved it.

Sudeip Ghosh said

@TGK….thanks again dude glad you liked it :)…i guess i have managed to get you completely into Rock and Metal music now !!

@Sumit….thanks soo much bro !!! loved the choice of “words”…there is a huge story and relationship with “magic” and one days…hopefully soon i will share it with you and everybody !!

@Kumar Srinivasan thank you so much again

@Anirban it is funny you say that…looking back in retrospect i can do the music and guitars on earphones but its George who has to scream !! lol
no earphones for that

Sudeip Ghosh said

@Ashish thanks for saying that ….meanwhile i will try to listen to that song and cover it with George

@Rakesh thanks again bro :D

@Prateek …yes i guess George just took that “still of the night” to the next notch !!

@Ronak…. george did tell me that i did the whole recording at a slower tempo…its again difficult for me to tell because the original beat is compltetey different from the beat i used …that perhaps makes it sound a little slower…the other thing was i handed off the entire music to George and then he realized it was a little slower ! i am talking about drums , bass , orchestration , 2 rhythm guitars and 1 solo !! lol …that wouldve meant redoing the whole thing for me and i had already spent almost 20 hrs doing the whole track ! BTW for the intro…i kept it that way to give it a very informal …Live set up kind of feel and then just give a heads up that its going to be a “louder” version lol !!!

Sudeip Ghosh said

@Vijay thanks again …glad you liked it !

@Maruthi…we really did our “own” version of the song…the tones , the entire flavor …know what i mean ? glad you liked it !

@Sushane , Arun thank you sooo much guys !

@Adithi…did i ever tell you the little story of why would George sing a song “kabhi kabhi adithi” i kept confusing it as a duet that you song on it ! meanwhile yes i really have my hands full with a lot of other music stuff as well…dint mean to disappear though !

@Vikram…lol evil you !! hehe….i am glad that you did the Van Halen imitations…i do have my little bag of tricks once in a while as well :D
